Well when I look at America I can name few. Our government and many others were inspired by the Romans and their creation of democracy. Our architecture is inspired by the Roman building. And that horrible Cesar hair cut that movie stars tried to work in the 90's. The Roman Empire really has a fascinating culture and history, it's no wonder people are influenced by it.

Roman culture influenced American culture through its architecture, literate and laws. The Neoclassical architecture and sculpture (18th to early 20th century) was based on Roman architecture. Roma literature influenced western literature and the American elites until the 20th century. Modern law has been influenced by Roman law. There was also an interest in Roman history and mythology

the 3 branches
The Romans adopted many customs from the Etruscans including the arch and layout of the temple, the Etruscan alphabet, the reading of the future, the art of bronze making and some aspects of the Roman government.
No religion helped to save Roman culture. One religion spread through the Roman Empire in its later days and transformed Roman culture: Christianity.
The people of the Byzantine part of the empire were Roman but heavily influenced by the Greek culture. Note that they were Roman, not Italian.

The northwestern edge
I would define it as the type of civilization developed by the Greeks and later practiced by the Romans, in the Mediterranean area, from circa 500 BC to circa 500 AD. Art, architecture, literature, science, and the concept of self-government flourished with Greco-Roman civilization. It had some advantages over the civilizations that preceded it, and some advantages over the civilizations that followed it.
The Romans were so influenced by Greek culture because many who immigrated to Italy were Greek and so brought their religion and culture to Italy and developed it mixed with the previous settlers. A classic example/myth of this is the story of Romulus and Remus.
The Germanic peoples who lived on the fringes of the Roman Empire and those who invaded the western part of this empire were influenced by Roman culture. They did not adopt it. They retained their distinctive culture. The influence was due to contact with the Romans
